Latest Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG football review
After showing commendable courage in the opening match with a 2-2 draw against FC Copenhagen, Bayer Leverkusen could not maintain their advantage in the second half of the second match when facing the Dutch representative.
On Tuesday night, the German side will be looking to avoid the prospect of failing to win their first three Champions League group stage games – something that has not happened since 2016, when they drew their opening three games.
Since winning their last two European matches in 2024, Leverkusen have won just one of their six European games since the start of the year.
However, they still have reason to be confident as they have not lost in their last five Champions League matches against French representatives at this stage of the competition.
Leverkusen have not lost a game since Kasper Hjulmand took over from Erik ten Hag. They are in good form in the Bundesliga with two consecutive wins, most recently a dramatic 4-3 win over Mainz last weekend.
The BayArena continues to be an impregnable fortress for the team. Leverkusen have lost just one of their last 17 group stage games in European competition, having won all four group stage games at home last season without conceding a goal.
Despite missing many key players in the second match, Paris Saint-Germain still found a way to overcome Barcelona, coming from behind and sealing the victory in the final minutes.
The reigning champions are now unbeaten in 14 consecutive Champions League games, winning 12 of them — including a five-match winning streak heading into matchday three.
If they win again on Tuesday night, PSG will equal their record for the longest winning streak in the competition, set in 1994 with six consecutive victories between September and December.
However, PSG's record in Germany is not really impressive: they have won only two of their last ten away games here and have never kept a clean sheet in those matches.
In addition, coach Luis Enrique's team have also dropped points in two of their last three away games in all competitions. However, if they win against Leverkusen, PSG will win all three opening Champions League group stage matches for the first time since 2019.
Les Parisiens have won every game against Leverkusen in the Champions League, including a 4-0 win at the BayArena in 2014 — the last time they kept a clean sheet in the group stage in Germany.
